Students usually want their essay well
done. They don’t want to get anything wrong, especially since this forms a
substantial part of their overall score in a subject. There are many things
each student should keep in mind when
they write their essay. The following tips come in handy.
Plan the Essay
We have been reminded time and again that
failing to plan is planning to fail. That applies to writing essays too. The end product will be determined by the amount of planning that has gone into it. The
plan should identify all the steps to be taken
and when each should be done. You should
plan when you are going to the library, and what specific issues you are going
to look for. You should plan to summarize
your findings and jot down the sources. You should plan when you are going to
jot down your draft. You should plan when to go over it and add anything you
feel is left out. You should plan when to write out the full paper from the
draft. You should set aside sufficient time to check back with your instructor,
to get comments on the progress of the paper. You should then make appropriate
corrections and hand in the paper.
Identify Your Sources
It is not easy to find what you want in a
physical or online library. You should, therefore, identify your sources long
before you begin checking them out. In many cases, your instructor will give
you some sources to use in your work. However, these may not be all the
sources, so you will have to find the rest yourself. It is easy to find sources on programs like Google scholar. All you
do is type in the topic of interest into the search engine, and suggestions
will come up. Some of these suggestions are the sources that you need. You can
also look through other peer-reviewed
academic journals online. Their present and past issues are useful for your
reference purposes.
